IMM AFRICA TV: Documentary on Africa : Colonial past and neo colonial future | HOW AFRICANS ARE TRYING TO LIVE THE PAST IN THE PRESENT LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE

What is the biggest social issue in Africa?
The major social ills are: high rates of unemployment, infant and child morbidity and mortality, and maternal mortality; rapid population growth rates; environmental degradation; and a growing population of refugees and displaced persons as a result of civil wars and ethnic conflict.

What is Africa's biggest problem?
Sub-Saharan Africa faces one of the most challenging economic environments in years, marked by a slow recovery from the pandemic, rising food and energy prices, and high levels of public debt

What is the major concern in Africa?
Access to energy is one of the most profound development challenges Sub-Saharan Africa faces. In 2022, 600 million people in Africa, or 43% of the continent, lacked access to electricity. The vast majority of them—590 million or 98%—were in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Why is Africa so rich yet so poor?
Most of the revenues from the exploitation of resources (oil, coal, gold, etc.) fall into political elites, and national income is not properly distributed to the lower classes. Additionally, the trickle-down process is slow, and in some cases, it does not even happen.

How long has Africa been exploited?
AFRICA AS A “BROKEN” CONTINENT

The 500 years of European slavery and colonialism seriously harmed the African economy, damaged the African societal structures and undermined the psychological self-assurance of Africans.
Africa’s weakened economy and political structures is partially responsible for the fact the continent has the largest wealth disparity in the world. Its economic emphasis on natural resources and essential ecosystem services, with it composing an estimated 60% of its GDP, allows wealth disparities to occur by providing the right conditions for monopolies to form. Instances like South Africa, where the top 10% owns 90% of the entire country’s wealth, display the economic effects of an unequal society. The situation is so dire that there are some undeniable parallels between existing and colonial economies. Clearly, although African governments have had time to establish successful countries, the current system isn’t working; it’s actually sinking.
